How it should be.


Love should look like roses on a cold wintry evening.

not like withered grass on a cold wintry morning

 

Love should represent the strength of two individuals.

not highlight the weaknesses in one or each other

 

Love should be a bond between two individuals that can't be broken.

not a fragile tree branch blowing in the wind

 

Love should be a passionate force between two.

not a lustful invitation, matched with bitterness

 

Love should measure the quality of a relationship.

not the quantity of what's in someone's wallet

 

Love should make a vow to stay, ..no matter what.

not be here today and gone tomorrow

 

Love should always be right.

never left

 

Love should always be capitalized.

never lowercased

 

Love should always represent a completed thought.

never a sentence fragment

<p>Nice poem. I like the way you bring out what love is suppose to be and what is not suppose to be. It really does distinguish what most call love and what should be love. Thank for typing up a poem with some wisdom about love. People will truly appreiciate your honesty and wisdom through this poem and more. Keep writing on my friend:).</p>
